  • the post-driving and earth- boring machine 10 includes wherein the capacity for installing specific I-beams affords six, eight or twelve inch I-beams with soil plates. After the I- beams are driven into the soil, preformed concrete wall sections slide in between the I-beams. The wall is securely held by connecting rods across the top and bottom of the concrete form to the I-beams. The concrete form can be removed to clean out debris if necessary. Further advantages, include wherein the erected walls are used to reduce soil erosion, provide privacy, sound barriers and/or traffic barriers, prevent rock slides and snow drifts. Since the machine can operate in sand, it is excellent or ideal for installing walls to prevent beach erosion. The machine 10 also includes many other areas of application such as guardrail installation, installation of piers and docks, fence post installation, test drilling and post puller attachment .

Abstract

L'invention concerne un engin (10) pour enfoncer des pieux, des tiges, des pointes de taille importante et des similaires dans le sol, la chaussée ou des structures de mur. L'engin est constitué d'une tour allongée (14), d'un chariot, d'un marteau (18), d'une combinaison d'un vérin à double effet (126) et d'un système à poulies (128), d'au moins une boîte à soupape de commande, de plusieurs conduites hydrauliques sous pression, de plusieurs lignes hydrauliques sous pression, de plusieurs conduits hydrauliques et de plusieurs attaches. La tour (14) comporte deux rails parallèles (24) permettant au marteau de coulisser vers le haut et ensuite vers le bas, de sorte qu'il exerce une force sur une pièce et la pousse sur une surface de travail. L'engin peut également comprendre un guide de marteau (244), des ressorts de contrainte (125) et une plaque interchangeable (266).
